Nightmare Mario – The Glitched Horror

1-Up Curse – If the player dies, Mario doesn't disappear. Instead, he remembers. Each time you respawn, he becomes more aggressive, his appearance more broken.

Blood Coin Effect – Collecting coins doesn’t help you—it feeds him. If you collect too many, his speed and power increase.

Glitch Portals – If he gets too close, your screen distorts, and reality shifts—sometimes trapping you in looping hallways or warping you to impossible locations.

Behavior & Abilities:

"Here We Go!" – His voice is warped and distorted, sometimes deep and guttural, sometimes shrill and robotic. He occasionally mimics cheerful Mario catchphrases—but they’re twisted, trailing off into eerie laughter.

Unstoppable Pursuit – He doesn’t "walk"; he glitches forward, appearing in different spots like a corrupted NPC. His jumps make unnatural crackling sounds, and he sometimes floats for too long before landing.

Pipe Manipulation – He can spawn or remove pipes at will, using them to ambush the player. If he grabs you, he shoves you into a pipe that leads… nowhere.
